Description
I was trying to use a Mouse on my iPad and iPhone but sadly had no Luck

and
iPad 7th Generation
Relevant log output
Make sure Automatic Mouse Grab is enabled.
I tried that already and sadly did not work
Hm, I had this working at one point a few months ago, but now it's not working for me either. I'll see if I can track down if something broke.
Pretty sure what's going on is that when the mouse overlay is active it only pays attention to the overlay and ignores all other mouse input. You can confirm by turning off the mouse input, settings > user interface > on-screen overlay > enable overlay lighten, mouse, and pointer (or similarly in quick menu > on-screen overlay).
I've put up #17615 that should make it so both can work at the same time.

Tried that and yes the Mouse will move but when I click on Mouse Buttons and nothing happens when I do that
Update:
Turned on Automatic Mouse Grab Fixed it on iPhone but not iPad that has the latest Official Version on AppStore
@warmenhoven I've had a multi-year long standing issue with mouse on iOS (have been testing on phones with larger screens, not iPad) -- I believe either this or commits closeby fixes the issue: tried Amiga, Dos and ScummVM and all work perfectly now - thank you so much!
I tried it and I find the Circle from Mouse won’t Disappear what ever I do
Mouse also shown outside of Retroarch
The Circle can click on Overlay Buttons but not in Game

Am I doing some wrong or have I missed doing something to fix it?
Make sure you have game focus on.
Done that and still not made any Difference
